During the civil rights turmoils of the early 1960s, Governor George Wallace was almost a paradigm of the segregationist position, standing in the doorway to block black university students at the University of Alabama.
He later changed greatly.
His daughter, Peggy Wallace Kennedy, told CNN that her father might well have voted for President Barack Obama. "My father lived long enough to come to an understanding of the injustices borne by his deeds and the legacy of suffering they left behind."
In 1995 he welcomed civil rights reenactors on their march from Selma to Montgomery. He apologized to a group of black leaders in a group that included Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Here is proof that with Christ in the picture change is possible.
